..not getting a say in picking out your own diamond or ering?
I know many on PS did get to help pick out the diamond or the setting, but for those that didn't, do you ever regret not being able to do so?
My husband did an AMAZING job, and picked out a gorgeous diamond in a classic solitaire setting, and I love it. But sometimes I really wish that I had been able to pick out the diamond or setting myself. Just because I LOVE to shop for those kind of things and I am going to wear it forever (and I know I'll never do an upgrade or reset because we're both too sentimental for that). I'm kind of sad that I'll never get to do the leg work and the research and the feel the thrill of hunting down and nabbing the perfect diamond for my engagement ring.
What can I say, I love to shop for shinies, and I wish I could have participated in the shopping for what will likely be the the most expensive (and sentimental) jewelery purchase I make in the next 20 years. I read all these Rocky Talky threads, and I'm a little jealous since the search sounds like so much fun!
